Speaking from experience, regular checks like PSA can be very helpful in providing alerts to possible cancer. Even though medical science suggests men over 70 should discontinue the checks, allegedly because the cancer is so slow growing, the should be requested and done nonetheless. Caught mine at 75, had the surgery and am cancer free. It seems death from prostate cancer shouldn’t have to happen so often, maybe even not at all.
Slightly elevated PSA last month.
Getting a prostate biopsy next month.
Not messing around at 68 years old.
Colon cancer is a very dreadful way to die. Get your self checked religiously.
